Economics
Programme Overview
A broad scope of knowledge, analytical ability, versatility, presentation and writing skills on economic topics, applied statistical and econometric tools. The programme Economics offers all this to its students. It is designed primarily for those who are interested in economic issues, who like to reflect upon the foundations of their analyses or on how to assess specific economic decisions, and who want to learn more about the workings of markets and economies. Students will also learn about modern analytical methods and software.
In the Master’s programme, you will expand your knowledge of behavioural and experimental economics, transport economics and public policy, as well as macroeconomic modelling. You will learn how to empirically identify and quantify the effects of specific economic decisions. Students of Economics gain universal knowledge that provides them with a broader perspective on economic, political, and social issues. They also gain a more critical view of different situations and a more appropriate choice of stance that takes into account the broader context.
Upon successful completion of the study, the graduate can:
- apply attention to detail and problem-solving skills in a wide range of professional environments, from finance and business to the public sector and non-profit organizations,
- process large data sets and analyse them using statistical and econometric tools,
- present complex economic topics,
- publish scholarly texts covering a wide range of topics while including sound arguments and opinions based on their own analysis,
- interpret current economic research and policy documents in a selected area of specialization,
- provide expert advice in their area of specialization.
